neither

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

\[a _{i}= -2*a _{i-1} - 3\] for i=1,2,3,4,5,where \[a _{0}=5\] So this looks arithmetic and is not geometric (i.e. a factor of the previous)

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

oops, doesn't work for 59

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

neither

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

for question11 = False, just take n=1, for example
